Well, while it may not be based on bloodline, it seems that people with the name Shiki get the ability automatically <.< Shiki wasn't in Nanaya mode when he fought Nero? + Show Spoiler + Or when he fought Akiha or when he sliced up Arcuied?

The whole naming thing is probably just Nasu being lazy. Shiki -> Shiki + Show Spoiler + SHIKI -> SHIKI haha Azaka -> Akiha Shiki's in Nanaya mode whenever he has headaches or the screen's red, more or less.

Shiki can be said to always kind of be in Nanaya mode, since his blood reacts to any kind of an unnatural being. The question is how much of his old demon-hunting family blood is affecting him. The very first encounter with Arc probably marked the point when it surfaced the sharpest, at least without the tampering of a certain person. When he fought Nero, it was definitely present, but it doesn't really seem like the instinctual kill mode from the blood has been in effect. The events with Akiha and SHIKI (ffs English, give me kanji) had been kind of manipulated by the said certain person, so it is kind of hard to guess how affect he was. As for naming, well, originally rakkyo is supposed to be kind of a prototype Tsukihime. There might've been things about why he named characters like this, but I am way too lazy to check through all the stuff I have for it, so let's just say he got lazy And yeah, T-M, hours upon hours. When are we going to get into a discussion of Kagetsu Tohya and the single best fanfic of all time for Tsukihime? | ||

Ren wasn't a particular memorable heroine. I'm somewhat uninterested in Loli characters. Of the side stories, I remember Con game, Ciel-sensei, Shiki's dad, and Akiha's epilogue. With the attack on Arcuied, it just seems quite different from the other iterations of Nanaya Shiki. Granted, there's quite a bit of sadism still, but he didn't taunt like a total badass with the other two cases. | ||

I still can't help but think of Haruhi when I see Yurippe and the band. Argh. I'm reading comments on myanimelist. Apparently the coalguys subs was a troll. =P + Show Spoiler [Like so] + ![[image loading]](http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy214/OustoLogra2/Angel%20Beats/again.jpg) Edit: Almost forgot: WHY IS TK'S ENGLISH SO GOOD?

After I finish Kohaku's route and Plus Disc, I plan on starting Kagetsu Tohya (as long as exams don't get in the way <.< ). I hear it's a completionist's nightmare. | ||

 . Gundam 08th MS Team is also a really good mecha series. Macross Zero has some of the sickest animation I have ever seen, and the battles look beautiful. Maybe Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bokurano (?) if you want a storyline less concentrated on mechs and more on psychological aspects. | ||

Go watch the original mecha/giant robot series Macross and Gundam (the UC timeline) if you can bear the vintage animation and artwork. | ||

Try watching something in a different genre - you might be pleasantly surprised. On April 04 2010 12:10 Tenryu wrote: Meh, i liked heroic age alot. Its got a 7.73 on myanimelist.net with 6600 votes. Thats not that bad and is atleast worth a try -_- On the topic of MAL ratings, I usually find that anything under an 8.0 is usually of mediocre to low quality because everybody rates really friggin' high. It's a really, really crude generalization, but I think a good guideline is that it's likely that you'll enjoy an anime that's rated higher than 8.0, and anything below that mark is more up to personal preference. On a different note, I took a look at the flowchart for Kagetsu Tohya. Holy shit. | ||

Just finished Texhnolyze after it being on my watching list for about 3 months. Ending so sad ;____; For me, 10 is like top 5 anime level, 9 is amazingly good, 8 is good, 7 is 'enjoyed', 6 is ok, and below 6 it becomes a bit arbitrary. | ||

Anyways, you should definetly give Great Teacher Onizuka a try in that list. Its an old anime so at first you might not like how the animation looks, old quality u know. But if u stay with it you'll get used to it. GTO is probably the funniest anime ive ever seen and imo you cant watch anime without have seeing atleast that series Only other series ive watched that made me laugh just as much is maybe Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu (think thats how u spell it). | ||
